Mobstar, a $100,000 buy from the Gold Coast National Yearling Sale for Hunter syndicators Australian Bloodstock, claimed the 1280m maiden plate.
Jockey Koby Jennings drove the three-year-old to the line to edge out the Paul Messara-trained Fiendish after coming with a wide run from the back of the field.
Lees Racing representative Sammie Clenton said the Newcastle stable had worked through barrier issues with the gelding, which had two trials in preparation for the debut.
"It was a very good effort," Clenton told Sky Racing.
"Obviously it was a bit awkward out, he did it the tough way, but very pleasing.
"He savaged the line really well and he's obviously a horse that's going to want at least seven furlongs and maybe he might get to a mile, but I really like the horse and he's progressive."
Hutchings took the riding honours, starting his treble with Optimo for Scone trainer Mark Schmetzer in the 900m maiden. The four-year-old surged late to win just his second race start and first for Schmetzer.
"He'll just get better with distance and racing experience," Schmetzer said.
"He's got a fair bit of ability and this time next year hopefully we're at Randwick."
Hutchings next scored a comfortable front-running victory on Andorra Le Vella for Scone trainer Stephen Jones in the third, a class 1 handicap over 1450m.
It gave the Gerry Harvey-owned four-year-old back-to-back wins after breaking through at Scone on September 24.
"He's hit a purple patch and Rory has the answer to him," Jones said. "He seems to go good for him. He won well today and never looked like getting beat."
Hutchings completed his hat-trick on the Cameron Crockett-trained Santa Margherita, which came from last to win the fillies and mares benchmark 58 handicap (1280m) by 1.4 lengths.
"She's a difficult mare to ride, she gets her head up and wants to overrace, then I just sort of left her alone and she surprised me with how well she travelled into the race," Hutchings said. "When we straightened up, she was never going to get beaten."
Wyong trainer Damien Lane had a double with odds-on favourites Oakfield Navajo and Tidal Impact.
Three-year-old Tidal Impact showed her potential, controlling her 1000m race from the outset and winning by a length easing up.
"She's a really nice filly and one of the better ones in our barn," Lane said. "She's got improvement in her and she's a filly that will win better races than a Muswellbrook class 1."
